What a strange turn of phrase.... "I left with all my children". He is almost saying... we don't always leave with all our children.

It's just gotchas and sound bites for their editor or podcasts. The media has gone down a rabbit hole of selfishness and society will pay for in ultra right Governments.

Billericay includes Basildon and is a traditional Tory seat.No surprise it would vote Reform,so no loss to Labour.Thurrock is the next door seat which is already Reform. Both are very much a Blue collar/Working class type of area which will lose the most under a Reform Government... go figure.

The backbench MPs have been successful in the past changing Starmers mind. At the moment they are in a very strong position.

Two birds with one stone for Starmer. He needs to be brave enough to see it through.

I remember buying it and couldn't wait to get home and play it. Being a Kraftwerk fan side 2 hit the spot for me but it was a total surprise to hear that style of music from Bowie.... surprised by him again!!

The use of "illegal immigrants" for asylum seekers drives me mad. Reform types know exactly what they are doing, nobody knows how many "illegal immigrants" there are in the Country. If you are "illegal" you would get nothing especially a Council House. Illegals are basically on the run.

Good point. Mandelson is not related to the abuse of young girls just plain old greed. It's always one or the other sex or money.

He has developed a Peston style of performance. When speaking about Starmer his voice lowers like someone has died. He also uses "I think", I don't care what you think just give us the facts

Farage does not want to take a pay cut to become PM. His stupid disastrous policies are designed to make that a certainty.

Looks like a Saga local TV news station. So funny the "need to check that's the right way around". As usual telling both sides of the story is not important to GB news.

Strange then that the backbench Labour MPs have been bringing the Cabinet in line so often.

I have confronted people with this question especially when comparing Starmer and Truss. If you ask them "How has Starmer changed your life for the worse? " it stumps them as well.
